Well kept greens! Rolling nicely. Fairways could be better

This is a muni course that takes a beating with so many rounds played here, but the greens are actually looking pretty darned good right now. Fairways are pretty beat up due to so much play. Most of the bunkers are in decent shape. No big criticisms here. Great value for a pretty wide open muni course. From the tips it’s a nice challenge but pretty wide open overall. The layout is very playable and fair.

Does the trick

For as much play as the course gets, it was in good condition. Normally I’d say average shape but considering the traffic, I’ll be generous. Typical greens that rolled medium fast but peppered with the results of lazy golfers not taking two seconds to bend over and fix their mess. Some bare spots in the fairways and not much real rough to speak of bordering the fairways. Around the greens, there was some thick rough in spots that will test your touch. Got paired with another single and a pair of nice guys but who had super lengthy pre-shot routines resulting us never catching the group in front of us and a 4.5 hour round :/ Fun day for a walk.
